30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS  (13+) WDC's Longest Running Blog Competition - Hiatus #1786069 by Fivesixer

PROMPT September 5th: I spent some time today reading "Writing.Com 101"  (a normal Wednesday activity), and found a few entries describing some of the lesser-known features on WDC including the "Sliders Tab" , "Macros" , the "Ideanary" , and "Portfolio Highlighting" . In addition to these tools and features, there are 22 item types available for members to create, but only a handful make up the majority of content on the site. Take a look at the full list here: "Item Types and Their Uses" 

Is there any item type available to you that you've never created? Any that you've > never read? Any tool or feature on WDC that you haven't tried? Why not? What are the benefits of having these extra features available on a site dedicated to writing? (I have a feeling our restless muses are to blame, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I've used the Ideanary before, and I like it much better than just looking up a synonym in one of the internet thesauruses. I don't know why I don't use it more often, because when I do use it I feel that my writing is fresher with more choices of synonyms.

The only other thing I want to try is the Portfolio Highlighting. That sounds like it would be fun and interesting.
